Thank you for that clarification.  I just tried Midnight Commander in Console 
mode.  This time, I did NOT log in as root.  I just logged in as myself, a 
regular, non-priviledged user.  I discovered that mouse support works the same 
for me in Console mode whether I am root or not.  Translation: at least on my 
system, for some reason Console mouse support works perfectly in Midnight 
Commander when I am logged in as a regular user.
